From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because of this discussion (and because I hadn't looked at passkeys for quite a while), I did some testing...

And passkeys integrate seamlessly into my keepassXC to get backed up with all my regular passwords. So software- instead of device-based passkeys that can be properly transfered, synced or backed up work...

The problem is that tech-minded people that use password managers and think about security and backups are not the primary target group that passkeys should protect from every-day phishing attempts in the first place. And when it's supposed to protect the common user effectively and conveniently/frictionless but then instantly destroys the effect by advising to set up another login method it makes no sense.

Maybe I should have clarified, you can't export from Bitwarden into KeePassXC or vice versa. Imagine you have 100 passkeys and you want to switch your passkeys manager. Unless something has changed drastically in the last few months, this was impossible
